Imported from Hungary, our Tsigai sheepskins are of excellent quality. Also known as Cigája (pronounced Cig-Ah-Ya), Zombori sheep, Oláh sheep, or berke, these sheepskins are quite soft with long, dense hair and a supple hide. Our bleached white skins are brilliant white in the middle and creamy white towards the edges. Please note that it is difficult to eliminate all of the creamy yellow color of the fur.
Sizes may vary. They average between 37" to 49" long and 23" to 32" wide, with an average hair length of 5" to up to 10" long.
These sheepskins make for ideal seating pads, floor mats or blankets. They can also be used to make hats, vests, mocassins, bags and other fur items. They also work well as luxurious furniture covers.
Tsigai sheepskins are not endangered. The sheepskins are a by-product of the food industry. The sheep were not killed just for their skin.
